listen to john boehner say whatever he wants. but cenk listen to the vice president talking. >> osama bin laden is dead and general motors is alive. >> you know, and this is about osama bin laden in a way because the democrats have neutralized with the success of the elimination of osama bin laden, they have neutralized that issue for the republicans. not only that, even bill clinton is coming to the side of president obama, and this is i think a spectacular ad. ♪ >> it's one thing george bush said that was right. the president is the decider in chief. nobody can make that decision for you. look, he knew what would happen. suppose the navy seals had gone in there and it hadn't been bin laden. suppose they had been captured or killed. the down side would have been horrible, but he reasoned. i cannot in good conscious do nothing. he took the harder and the more honorable path, and the one that produced, in my opinion, the best result. >> it's not worth moving heaven and earth, spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one

president obama said can we get that fake revenue and boehner said no to that anyway. in fact, here he said a lot more than i just said. >> his position is he was not saying i have to have it, he was saying i want you to consider it. >> no, no, no, hold on, no, no, no. no no. i need $400 billion. i need. i pushed back a couple times and it's not no, i need $400. >> even then with this fake revenue, boehner's answer is no, no no, no, no, no, no and president obama wasn't drunk enough. >> president obama said i didn't say that i needed it, i just said pretty please. >> are we going through this again in the second term? the final piece of the tape here boehner proves how unmovable he is: >> not a damn dime. you can't take anything from the rich. president obama, when are you going to realize these are not the guy to say negotiate. that grand bargain he told a reporter that it's more important to him than even health care reform. it's a terrible deal for the entire country. don't do it. don't negotiate with these guys anymore. unfortunately, he won't listen to us. if he g

meanwhile what is john boehner up to? other than fighting the president on the grand bargain and the so-called fiscal cliff, he said if you do filibuster reform, and you actually can get legislation passed through the senate well, we would hate that because we love gridlock in washington as the republicans right? so he said, if the senate reforms it, the filibuster, we'll block every vote. quote, any bill that reaches the republican-led house based on the senate democrat's heavy handed power play would be dead on arrival. if you thought gridlock was bad before, wait until you get a load of the new gridlock where he would kill every single bill. do you remember what president obama said before the election? i'll remind you don't worry here it comes. my hope, my expectation is that after the election, now that it turns out that the goal beating obama does not make much sense because i'm not running again that we can start getting some cooperation again. hate to do it to you but wrong again, bob. it doesn't look like you're

let's hear what john boehner has to say about that. >> mr. president, take it from me, the private sector is not doing well. listen, the american people are still asking the question where are the jobs. stopping the looming tax hikes will help job creators because they'll have more certainty about what the tax rates are going to be, and help create a better environment for them to create jobs. >> yeah, of course, john boehner heard what the president said. maybe the president heard what john boehner said because very quickly soon therefore he's back walking it back a little. here is president obama. >> obama: the economy is not doing fine. there are too many people out of work. the housing market is still weak and too many homes underwater, and that's precisely why i asked congress to start taking some steps that can make a difference. >> to discuss this, we welcome, of course, eleanor, we have to stop meeting like this "newsweek's" eleanor clift and from new orleans cenk uygur. eleanor, you wrote an article about how people are jittery about

boehner says the president has to say it. it may well be because the president has the upper hand on taxes and can do nothing which is what the congress is best at and have those taxes expire and come back and cut them on everybody but the top 2%, that may well be the strategy we end up with. the bigger thing that's not in this discussion that i find particularly disturbing is essentially this kind of a late consensus to use this fake crisis to focus on deficit reduction is highjacking the debate we ought to have on how to get this economy working for the vast majority of americans and how to get people back to work. we ought to be having that debate and they've got to push hard simply to get on the agenda. >> it's amazing a great point and shows why the president is not remotely progressive. he's having the debate totally on republican grounds as if they won. no no, no! we won! we won! we should be talking about jobs, increasing taxes. i'm not entered in $3 trillion in spending cuts. the republicans want that, good luck to y

boehner, i have to sympathize. i don't know why he doesn't quit and join olympia snowe on the island of misfit toys. he has 100 or scores of republicans, tea party republicans who just want to pace paint faces and grab hatchets and chop down anything that says government. they don't want to governor. they don't want a companyuntry with a government that works he is trying to make these deals. he doesn't represent a party votes that he can hold together. it's like for democrats. it's like trying to make a contract with the januaritoitor of a company because nobody is running the place. >> carl, real quick, does that mean a president that fights them is more likely to gets results as by the way he did on judicial nominations today when the republicans backed down than a president who tries to actually get to a reasonable compromise with guys who don't listen to it if they get the compromise? >> the speaker is an emperor who has no clothes, bright orange down to his underroos. when we get excited about the progressive
